YouTube’s system for suppressing low-quality AI content mistakenly targeted Kurzgesagt, leaving the channel with its worst-performing upload since 2013.

Isn't the AI "slop" detector also AI?

yes, but there are no better ways to detect it (at scale)

I unsubbed from Kurzgesagt about a year ago. Their content started to get a little to preachy for my liking.

2026 is weird, but the rest of the rawring 20’s are going to be a complete mindfuck.

I don't understand. I have more slop AI content than ever

I am super sceptical of anything made in the last year. Youtube will close to being worthless if the trend continues.

Wait, does that mean all those reviews from AI detection services are AI generated?

I'm going to controversially say that I'm glad YouTube is at least trying. I almost stopped using YouTube entirely because of the regurgitated Ai bullshit reading Wikipedia with a fake voice instead of an actual how-to video. Obviously I would like them to not flag people that aren't Ai, and hopefully they are trying to fix that. But I'll take it over literally nothing.
